cedar forests
Aromatic evergreen groves
Cedar forests are woodland areas dominated by cedar trees, evergreen conifers known for their aromatic, rot-resistant wood and distinctive scaly foliage.
These forests occur in various climates worldwide, from the ancient cedars of Lebanon to the temperate rainforests of the Pacific Northwest.
Cedar forests have long held cultural and spiritual significance for indigenous peoples and remain economically important for timber.
